Key Review Excerpts
“My mother-in-law was there for a few months some time ago. The staff was excellent and after finding that her doctors in Columbus over-medicated her she was able to walk again with her walker and was treated for Parkinson's that they never told her she had.”
“They've totally changed my view of the place that my grandmother is calling home now... she's in the assisted living Apt now, she is happier now than having so many things on her shoulders and especially when she is a widow,she doesn't need extra responsibility on her anymore.”
“By far the cleanest facility I have been in. There are plenty of activities to create a fun "party" atmosphere. The place is always decked out for every holiday.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Lutheran Community Home shows a concerning pattern of recurring issues across 36 deficiencies, with families filing complaints that triggered inspections regarding bladder/bowel care problems and care planning. The facility repeatedly struggles with fire safety systems, medication management, and resident care - particularly incontinence care which appears in multiple surveys and complaint investigations. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the persistence of similar problems across multiple years suggests ongoing operational challenges.
